these -- president obama's comments, this is not approachable at all. you can't measure them. i feel this language has the potential to be a very large, large, large loop hope. this coupled with an exception for agencies has the potential to result in no changes at all. so we issue an executive order saying let's take a tough look at the regulations that are so terribly counterproductive and we may end up with nothing, more especially with the independent agencies. note i said fdic. note i said s.e.c. read regulatory reform. the small banks and what they're going to have to put up with and hire a bunch of bad new bears to tell the rest of the employees how they're going to figure out the rest of the regulation. and my favorite, e.p.a., who had the temerity and unmitigated gall to say after this came out, after this loophole came out, none of our regulations even apply. our regulations are just fine. i got news for the e.p.a. in the agriculture committee, the chairwoman of the committee, debra stabenow, and i have agreed to have a hearing on this to dete

grassley: today the senate will confirm two more of president obama's judicial nominees. with this action we're filling two seats which have been declared judicial emergencies. i am pleased that we're moving forward with these very important nominations and filling these vacancies. i agree with the chairman's recent editorial and remarks that he has made that we have an opportunity to turn a page and work together in the spirit of bipartisanship and civility. i do not view it as a productive effort to continue with finger-pointing and the negative back around forth regarding previous pace or outcome of judicial nominations. unfortunately that rhetoric has frequently overshadowed the debate of the qualifications of particular nominees. i and my republican colleagues have been very cooperative in taking action on president's nominees. during this congress, the president has nominated 50 individuals to the federal judiciary. this congress has been in session for approximately one month. in this brief time we have taken positive action in one form or another on nearly half of

president obama cited one year ago this month. the language specifically forbids regarding the apology as a basis for any sort of monetary compensation. to sum up here is what i've taken away from the experience. sometimes because of panic and greed human beings and we americans are certainly human may act against our own high principles. eventually remorse will assert itself and the form of what lincoln memorably called our better. those will insist that we live up to our ideals. to still our conscience we may tender an apology. it will always be too late and it will always be inadequate. bearing that in mind i believe we must resist every effort to demonize the mexicans without papers with the muslims living peacefully in our midst. if we insist on laboring them all as a drug lords are terrorists we're simply guaranteeing that one day our grandchildren will have to apologize for our blindness and a tree. i hope we don't pass on to them that burden. and of my sermon. thank you for listening, and now it's my turn to hear what you

when you appear before this committee two years ago, president obama had just recently been sworn. he had inherited a terrible situation. the economy was in freefall, spiraling downward at a negative growth rate of 6%. americans were losing their jobs at the rate of 700,000 every month. two years later things have improved substantially. the economy grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the last quarter, and more than 143 million private sector jobs have been created since the start of 2010. as you indicated in testimony before this committee last year, the measures taken by the federal reserve, the t.a.r.p. solicitation by the bush administration and the recovery act by the obama administration, an extraordinary severe downturn perhaps a great depression, uncle. that we know while the economy has improved, millions of americans are still out of work and the unemployment rate while coming down slightly remain stubbornly at unacceptably high. we must use all the tools at our disposal to help businesses put people back to work, and i hope at some point this congress through its legislati
